Mourning Veil are a band with members from Iowa and Nebraska that plays a very melodic and blackened form of death metal and this is a review of their self released 2024 album "Heresy Code".
The sounds of fire burning and classical guitars start off the album before going into a very fast and brutal direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Black metal screams are also a very huge part of the recording while the riffs also add in a lot of melody.
Death metal growls are also utilized quite a bit throughout the album while the songs also add in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic and technical style along with the tracks also mixing in a good amount of thrash metal elements,.
All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them along with one track also adding slam style breakdowns in the mid tempo sections of the track and as the album progresses classical guitars also make a return. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover darkness, death, heresy and esoteric themes.
In my opinion Mourning Veil are a very great sounding brutal, melodic and technical blackened death metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Gnostic Deceiver" "Closing In" Before The Clutches" and "Conspirators Of Atrocity III: Shameless". 8 out of 10.
